Raster images are similar to a color-in-the-blanks picture, where numbers are assigned to sections of a photo, and each number represents a particular color to use.

Web browsers can also open a .png inside the browser window without downloading the actual file.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-3--when-to-consider-using-png\">When to consider using .png\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Though it may seem peculiar, a .png is perfect for times when an overwhelming graphic is needed and doesn’t have time to be refined. For example, if a user takes a screenshot, a .png fits perfectly as it will retain the entirety of the image in full resolution regardless of the file size.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Logos are subject to constant size changes due to the nature of their placements. They exist in numerous places throughout a company, and different formats require different sized-logos. As .png allows for lossless compression, resizing logos in .png keeps the logo completely intact and recognizable to consumers. Using a .png for logos upholds brand integrity and allows customers to recognize the familiarity of your company through a flawless image of the logo.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter wp-image-19341\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2018\u002F10\u002F19193630\u002Fpng-image-file-3.jpg\" alt=\"Two male coworkers are having a discussion in their office.\" class=\"wp-image-19341\" srcset=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2018\u002F10\u002F19193630\u002Fpng-image-file-3.jpg 800w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2018\u002F10\u002F19193630\u002Fpng-image-file-3-450x300.jpg 450w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2018\u002F10\u002F19193630\u002Fpng-image-file-3-768x512.jpg 768w\" \u002F>\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">.png is perfect for things like screenshots or logos.\u003C\u002Ffigcaption>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-4--when-to-avoid-png\">When to avoid .png\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">.png serves both business users and individual users, but there are times when they should be avoided. Putting images onto social media is generally not going to be suitable for .png, as the files are large and the picture quality is acceptable when deteriorated slightly. Even for businesses building social media presence, the idea of a large file slowing down access for interested users is not ideal.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When constructing a company website, .png should be avoided as well unless it’s for the brand logo. Images on a website should be smaller in file size so that the page loads quickly and efficiently for users of all bandwidth capabilities. Use alternate \u003Ca href=\"\u002Fblog\u002Fimage-file-types\u002F\">image file types\u003C\u002Fa> even if it means sacrificing a small amount of image quality.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Though finding uses for the .png will come less often than other image types, it does things that others can’t replicate.
